Crystal structure prediction (CSP) for inorganic materials is one of the central and most challenging problems in materials science and computational chemistry. This problem can be formulated as a global optimization problem in which global search algorithms such as genetic algorithms (GAs) and particle swarm optimization have been combined with first-principles free-energy calculations to predict crystal structures given only the material composition or a chemical system. AT7867 datasheet These DFT-based ab initio CSP algorithms are computationally demanding and can usually be used only to predict crystal structures of relatively small systems. The vast coordinate space and the expensive DFT free-energy calculations limit their inefficiency and scalability. On the other hand, a similar structure prediction problem has been intensively investigated in parallel in the protein structure prediction (PSP) community of bioinformatics, in which the dominating predictors are knowledge-based approaches including homology modeling and threading that exploit known protein structures. Surprisingly, the CSP field has mainly focused on ab initio approaches in the past decade. Inspired by the knowledge-rich PSP approaches, herein, we explore whether known geometric constraints such as the pairwise atomic distances of a target crystal material can help predict/reconstruct its structure given its space group and lattice information. We propose DMCrystal, a GA-based crystal structure reconstruction algorithm based on predicted pairwise atomic distances. Based on extensive experiments, we show that the predicted distance matrix can dramatically help reconstruct the crystal structure and usually achieves much better performance than that of CMCrystal, an atomic contact map-based CSP algorithm. This implies that the knowledge of atomic interaction information learned from the existing materials can be used to significantly improve the CSP in terms of both speed and quality.Studies on the possible alternative supplements to breastmilk are gaining research interests. Although milk from cow, goat, and mare is nutritious, its effects on the relationship between the immune system, metabolites, and gut microbiota remain unclear. This study aimed to comprehensively evaluate the effects of cow, goat, and mare milk on the immune system, metabolites, and gut microbiota of mice colonized by healthy infant feces using human milk as a standard. We examined the serum biochemistry parameters, immunity indicators, T cells, gut microbiota abundance, and metabolites. Results showed that the impact of human milk on alanine transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, total protein, globulin, and glucose values was different from the cow, goat, and mare milk types. The effects of mare milk on the percentage of CD4+ T, Th1, Th2, Th17, and Treg cells, and the levels of IL-2, IL-4, sIgA, and d-lactic acid in the serum of the human microbiota-associated mice were comparable to those of human milk. Also, bacterial 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis revealed that human milk enriched the relative abundance of Akkermansia and Bacteroides, cow milk increased the relative abundance of Lactobacillus, goat milk increased the relative abundance of Escherichia-Shigella, and mare milk improved the relative abundance of Klebsiella. Besides, mare milk was similar to human milk in the concentration of the metabolites we analyzed. Our findings suggest that mare milk can positively modulate the gut microbiota and immunity status of infants and thus could be a possible replacement for human milk.The study was aimed to investigate the combined effect of acid blanching (AB) and high-voltage electric field cold plasma (HVCP) on carrot juice quality. Before juice extraction, carrots were separated into three parts control, blanched (100 °C for 5 min) with non-acidified water, and blanched with acidified water (35 g/L citric acid at pH 1.34). Carrot juice was then subjected to dielectric barrier discharge at 80 kV for 4 min. Results indicated that AB treatment significantly influenced the efficiency of HVCP. AB-HVCP resulted in antimicrobial synergism, which is an outcome of acidified NO2-, H2O2, O-, and peroxynitrites (ONOO-) or its precursor OH/NO2, along with other species. In addition, plasma treatment also promotes the accumulation of coloring compounds, chlorogenic acid, and sugar contents by surface erosion of the epidermal layer, cis isomerization, rupturing of phenol-sugar and phenolic-cell matrix bonds, and depolymerized long-chain polysaccharides by cleavage of the glycoside bond. Therefore, AB-HVCP is a potential emerging hurdle strategy for fresh produce.Water plays a key role in biomolecular recognition and binding. Despite the development of several computational and experimental approaches, it is still challenging to comprehensively characterize water-mediated effects on the binding process. Here, we investigate how water affects the binding of Src kinase to one of its inhibitors, PP1. Src kinase is a target for treating several diseases, including cancer. We use biased molecular dynamics simulations, where the hydration of predetermined regions is tuned at will. This computational technique efficiently accelerates the SRC-PP1 binding simulation and allows us to identify several key and yet unexplored aspects of the solvent's role. This study provides a further perspective on the binding phenomenon, which may advance the current drug design approaches for the development of new kinase inhibitors.The membrane is one of the key structural materials of biology at the cellular level. Composed predominantly of a bilayer of lipids with embedded and bound proteins, it defines the boundaries of the cell and many organelles essential to life and therefore is involved in almost all biological processes. Membrane-specific interactions, such as drug binding to a membrane receptor or the interactions of an antimicrobial compound with the lipid matrix of a pathogen membrane, are of interest across the scientific disciplines. Herein we present a review, aimed at nonexperts, of the major neutron scattering techniques used in membrane studies small-angle neutron scattering, neutron membrane diffraction, neutron reflectometry, quasielastic neutron scattering, and neutron spin echo. Neutron scattering techniques are well suited to studying biological membranes. The nondestructive nature of cold neutrons means that samples can be measured for long periods without fear of beam damage from ultraviolet, electron, or X-ray radiation, and neutron beams are highly penetrating, thus offering flexibility in samples and sample environments.
